The frame is used to support a wood deck (not shown) that is to be subjected to a uniform load of 130 lb/ft^2. Sketch the loading that acts along members BG and ABCD. Take b = 10 ft, a = 5 ft.

Solution

A uniform distrubuted load is a load which has a constant value such as 1kn/m . simple pont forces do not always provide an accurate enough way to determine the stresses in an object such as a beam so more complex theretical loads must be used in our analysis.

we want to examins=e the force due to the self weight of a simply supported beam.If the beam made of iron
